MacBook Pro running MacOS 10.6. The font size for the tabs and bookmarks Toolbar is too small for comfortable reading for older eyes. Is there a way to change it or enlarge it?

The font size is smaller and harder to read than on FF 3.x. Would like to make it a few points larger or choose a different, more readable font altogether.

I installed Firefox sync and then used iphone app called FireFox Home and I can syncronize history, tabs and bookmarks. But I am NOT able to syncronize passwords from Firefox in my Macbook to FireFox Home on iPhone !

I installed Firefox sync and then used iphone app called FireFox Home and I can syncronize history, tabs and bookmarks. But I am NOT able to syncronize passwords from Firefox in my Macbook to FireFox Home on iPhone so I am very terrible to input my IDs and Passwords with my hands on FireFox Home when I log into Facebook, Twitter etc... Is it issue or something like that? If you have some solutions to make it clear, can you tell me how to syncronize memorized IDs and Passwords for the webs. Thank you.

You can look in Tools > Options > Sync

Where are bookmarks and bookmarks toolbar saved?

I lost part of my hard disk and have to recreate it from a backup. I have reinstalled Firefox but need to get the Bookmarks and Bookmarks Toolbar from my backup. If I know where they are stored I can copy them across to the new version.
Could someone advise in what folders they are stored? And any other files I may need to bring across? I'm using v5
Bob

Wow, thanks very much, cor-el!! I didn't know that feature existed. The only thing I didn't see restored were the unsorted Bookmarks. However thy were among the least important. I got back 280 plus folders and their Bookmarks.
Now, what about the last/second question, pasted here:
Then, whether recovered or not, how do I create separate instances of Firefox, that do not share any files? I don’t mind if the add-ons/extensions, and scripts are duplicated, but I can do that separately.
Also, “firefox.exe –p”, which worked previously, now will not work. The error message is:
"Windows cannot find ‘firefox.exe’. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
Thanks again,
Steve

Black background in Menu and Bookmarks Toolbar

The background colour for the Menu and Bookmarks Toolbar is black and this happens no matter what theme or persona I am using. All the other toolbars will change with the theme but not the two above
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== upgraded FF 3.6

Did you try to disable (uninstall) the Personas extension?
Are you using the Persona and the theme at the same time?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")
If you have many extensions then you can first enable half of the extensions to test which half has the problem.
Continue to divide the bad half that still has the issue until you find which one is causing it.

Certain files contain the current bookmarks and bookmarks toolbar and and could be copied into firefox on another computer. I found these files but they only have my old bookmarks, not my current ones.

In the past, there were certain files in the "Local Settings" and "Application Data" folders that contain my current Bookmarks and current Bookmarks Toolbar contents. I have been able to copy these files to a jumpdrive then use it to bring my CURRENT bookmarks and boomarks toolbar to Firefox on a different computer. When I attempt to do the same now, I get my bookmarks from 2 years ago and nothing at all on my bookmarks toolbar. I have successfully done this as recently as this past February. What happened to them and why can I not do this anymore?
I NEED to have these bookmarks and bookmarks toolbar on my other computers. I do NOT want them uploaded to YOUR servers to be able to do this. The whole reason I use Firefox is to avoid using M$ for the very same reason you are now trying to force on your faithful users. This has been a huge factor for most of us to use Firefox, to get away from IE.

If you have access to Firefox on that computer then export the bookmarks to an HTML file. 
Otherwise you need the JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder and restore the bookmarks from the most recent JSON backup. 
Note that this will replace all current bookmarks, so in order to keep these you need to export them to an HTML file and reimport that file after you have restored the JSON backup.

The typeface of my bookmarks on the left hand side and bookmarks toolbar is too small. Can I enlarge it please.

On the left hand side I have all my bookmarks and bookmark toolbar across the top. The typeface is very small. Can I enlarge it please.

You only see that Bookmarks Menu button with the drop marker on the Bookmarks Toolbar if the Menu bar is hidden. 
Otherwise you can use the Bookmarks menu to access that list.

Menu and Bookmark toolbars are missing upon restart of Firefox, although they are recoverable by left clicking on remaining toolbar. V31 and Windows 7.

As question states, the menu toolbar and bookmark toolbars are missing upon restart.
Both are fully recoverable as customized, but then disappear again upon restart.

I deleted the localstore.rdf.
But, I usually run Norton's Utilities 2012 "clean disk" upon closing down computer. The problem is something Norton is doing.
Firefox is storing my configuration/profile related to showing the two toolbars in some fashion (perhaps as a temp file), that Norton is erasing it.
Norton isn't deleting the customization/uniqueness of the toolbars.
Just that they don't show upon restarting.
There is probably a way for Firefox to store this "permanently".
Thanks for the help so far. The fix may not be something Firefox can do.

Navigation and bookmark toolbars are missing

The navigation and bookmark toolbars are missing. They are checked in toolbars menu, when I try to customize a toolbar and drag a item onto the toolbar, it disappears. I clicked on reset the default configuration, nothing has changed. I tried starting safe mode and resetting the toolbars, didn't help. I tried re-installing firefox, didn't help. Any ideas?

Did you find the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] ?
Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Open Containing folder
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Change tab and bookmark behaviour?

( Since Opera given up on their great browser and focus on a poor chrome clone, Mozilla have become my choice. There are a few annoyances though.)
1. "Popper" tab behavior. I want tabs to open furthest right in tab list so I don't have to search for them in the middle of the bar.
Is there a plug in for this since there seem to be no setting?
2. I have folders in the bookmark bar. I want to be able to add a bookmark directly to these folders. Now I have to create the bookmark, then go find it, in order to move it where I want. Is there a setting or a plugin to improve Mozilla bookmarks?

I think Ed's drag-and-drop method might be fastest for adding bookmarks to a folder on the Bookmarks Toolbar
If you need to use the dialog, here are two other ways to call it up:
* Ctrl+d
* right-click the page > click the star icon at the top right of the context menu

How to get back default bookmarks and bookmarks toolbars?

I would like to get back my default bookmarks and those bookmarks on the toolbar.
Where can I find a file with all the default bookmarks for Safari v4.0.5?

What I mean is the bookmarks that you got when you installed Safari for the first time.
Okay. The following procedure will restore your bookmarks to their default state.
(1) Quit Safari if you have it open
(2) Go Start > Open.
(3) In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
(4) Click the View tab.
(5) Make sure that Show hidden files and folders is selected.
(6) Click OK.
(7) Go Start > Computer.
(8) In Computer open Local Disk C:
(9) Open the Users folder.
(10) Open the folder with the name of the Vista user account in which you want to have default bookmarks showing for your Safari.
(11) Open the AppData folder.
(12) Open the Roaming folder.
(13) Open the Apple Computer folder.
(14) Open the Safari folder.
(15) Drag the Bookmarks plist file out onto your desktop.
Now launch Safari. That should rebuild the Bookmarks plist file, and you'll be seeing the default bookmarks and Bookmarks bar settings.

Is it possible for me to put my Norton toolbar on the same display line as the Firefox Bookmarks toolbar?

I would like to recover one line of my display area. My Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar and my Norton Toolbar are both short enough to fit on one line. I'd like to combine them.

Thanks for your response. I'm sorry to be so dense... but all I see in the referenced "how to" section is how to add function icons to the navigation bar. I don't see how to move an existing toolbar onto the same line as the existing Firefox Bookmarks toolbar. Can you please elaborate?
Thank you.

Navigation, menu commands and Bookmarks toolbars all disappear

Hi---started up and suddenly
---No Navigation buttons or customized buttons
--no bookmarks toolbar
--no box in which to enter a URL and change to another page
--no menu commands
--pretty much nothing, in fact, except the content of my home page. There's not even the series of commands for "about" or "help" NOTHING
Now, I discovered by accident that if I click on a link from my portal (netvibes) that happens to open in a new window, then all my old stuff appears.
But every time I open the first instance of the browser as a default--it's unuseable as it even lacks a place to put a url to change sites!
I've tried right-clicking along the strip as I saw in a FAQ; all I get are Windows commands (restore, minimize, close, and a nview command added long ago by my video card), but no options to CUSTOMIZE and or VIEW and restore toolbars, etc-
I tried f11 to make sure that I was not accidentally running full screen (although clearly I was not) and that test demonstrated I was not.
I hit f10---nothing happened.
When I right click elsewhere on the page (other than on a link from some feed on my portal), it gives me a host of commands from various extensions, like "open tab in new window" or "add to evernote" or "fireshot" but nothing that seems directly related to Firefox except I can see navigation commands like back/forward in the right click menu.
Clicking on the Firefox icon in the upper left just brings up the "close" "minimize" "restore" commands mentioned earlier from Windows.
Any advice?

Bookmarks disappeared in bookmarks drop down menu and bookmarks toolbar disappeared too after upgrading

I still have all my bookmarks so they are not lost (I can find them under 'bookmarks'>'Edit bookmarks' and also when I put them in the left side windowframe by clicking 'View'>'Sidebar'>'Bookmarks'
I saw them appear once again in the dropdown menu but now they're gone again.
The Firefox help page suggest to go to the 'add ons window' and select 'Extentions'>'Torbutten' but I don't even have that. They say that if you don't find the button, that means the torbutton is not installed. And then they leave you without another possibility. But I think that's only for when your bookmarks are totally lost anyway.
I always use the drop down menu and the bookmarks toolbar so would love to get it back. Adding, erasing and moving the bookmarks in the 'edit bookmarks' window all works just fine.

This issue can also be caused by a missing "Bookmarks Toolbar items" on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
* Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button

Tabs and Ask Toolbar Conflict

Sorry, but I am new to this forumn and don't know how to post a comment that may save time for some folks. About a week ago I posted a problem concerning creating multpple tabs and saving them. I cna't find that posting again, but the answer I got worked until the next update.
At that time I was using FF3.6.14 and the Ask toolbar. Removing it as suggested worked. Later I installed the FF 3.6.15 update and all still worked. Last night I recieved an update of the Ask toolbar.
Upon installing that latest toolbar, I again had the same problem with tabs.
It would appear that the lastest version of FF and Ask still conflict.

Did you create a new profile?
You can try to click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup.

*View > Toolbars > Customize
